In Sunday’s drills, Ingram was immediately followed by Illinois’ Mikel Leshoure. Leshoure, who goes 6-foot and 227 pounds, ran a 4.56 to best Ingram. Leshoure is commonly called the second best running back in this year’s class.

More impressive than both was Roy Helu of Nebraska. Helu hasn’t generated a ton of pre-draft buzz, but ran 4.43, unofficially. He averaged 6.62 yards per carry for the Cornhuskers last season.

Here we go. Mention the name “Dolphins” and we’re in for another Dolphin con. First it was Ricky Williams. Then it was Ronnie Brown. Now it’s Mark Ingram. And the only playoff appearance the Dolphins got out of it was when they brought in Pennington.

Don’t worry. Saban is badmouthing the Dolphins organization to Ingram as we speak.
